I've noticed people around here are terrible at judging sarcasm...I guarantee you there will be people that think you are being serious.
It is the actual truth. Administration didn't shut down fracking on day one? We were (for the 1st time in 75 years) energy independent. And no one, anywhere, is going to do it cleaner, with benefits to anyone who uses organic, earth-made energy. That would be everybody.

Biden throttled U.S. energy production when we needed it most

50% of my 2022 ski days were BC. 100% of 2021 was BC for me. Hopefully we get more snow this year…

No west texas has a glut of natural gas.There is a glut of natural gas in the US and futures are drifting lower.
Texas Natural Gas Drops Toward Zero as Output Swamps Pipelines
Natural gas prices in the Permian Basin of West Texas are plunging toward zero as booming production overwhelms pipeline networks, creating a regional glut of the fuel.
Yes, didn't write that correctly.

The article you site is about German fossil fuel usage is wrong.Here's what Germany is doing - talk about walking it back ( it is all about energy density when all is said and done)
Germany Is Dismantling A Wind Farm To Make Way For A Coal Mine | OilPrice.com
In what has been described as a “paradoxical” situation, Germany is dismantling a wind farm to expand a coal mine
And this from Goldman Sachs commodities research: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/10/3-8-trillion-for.php
82% is world-wide, not specific to Germany's sources in particular. At least that's the Goldman research conclusion.The article you site is about German fossil fuel usage is wrong.
Renewable electricity generation fed into the German grid is around 48% and German renewable production is around 41% so the 82% fossil fuel number is wrong. Coal is 31% and natural gas is 12%. That does not add up to 82%. Also, the article conveniently leaves out what happened to German nuclear electric production.
Electricity production in the 1st half of 2022: coal-generated electricity up 17.2% on the same period a year earlier
Just under a third (31.4%) of the electricity produced and fed into the grid in Germany in the first half of 2022 came from coal-fired power plants. Based on provisional results, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reports that coal-generated electricity that was fed into the grid...www.destatis.de
The Germans completely panicked after the Japanese nuke plant in Fukashima was hit by a tsunami in 2011. The Germans closed most of the nukes way before they planned and had to buy electricty from Polish (and other) coal generators to make up the difference. Eventually, the Germans fired up their own coal plants. Before the Fukashima disaster, Germany had a plan to phase off their own nuclear generation by 2036 and simultaneously switch to 'green' generation. If they stuck to their own plan, maybe they would have succeeded in reducing the German fossil fuel usage even more.
